Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 8 large sea scallops (optional)
– 2 filet mignon steaks (about 6 oz each)
– 2 lobster tails
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp olive oil (plus an additional 1 tbsp for scallops)
– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Paprika, for color
– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:
– Preheat your oven to broil.
– Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top of each lobster shell, gently pulling the meat up to rest on top of the shell.
– In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Generously brush the mixture over the lobster meat and sprinkle lightly with paprika for added color.
– Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil them for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and fully cooked. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
2. Cook the Filet Mignon:
– Season each steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
– Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear them for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare; adjust the time if you prefer your steaks cooked more.
– In the last minute of cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, basting the steaks with the melted butter as they finish cooking. Once done, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
3. Prepare the Scallops (optional):
– Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.
– In a clean skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully add the scallops and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
4. Serve:
– On a large serving plate, artfully arrange the beautifully cooked filet mignon, succulent lobster tails, and optional scallops. Enjoy your gourmet meal!
